The match has been organised by the club's official charity - the Liverpool FC Foundation - and will feature a number of players who played with or against Reds legends Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

Gerrard will captain one of the sides and the game is being billed as an opportunity to see the club legend in action with a host of past and present stars before he exits for LA Galaxy at the end of the season.

Former striker Fernando Torres is also confirmed while Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt and Xabi Alonso will also return.

Carragher's fellow Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry will take part as well as Chelsea duo John Terry and Didier Drogba.

There will also be cameo appearances from some Liverpool players, academy prospects and some of Brendan Rodgers' staff.
